Best Businesses in New York, NY

The reviewers don't lie!  A real stand up outfit.  Rich could not be any more gracious and helpful.  His primary concern is fixing your plumbing issue.  It's almost as if the business end comes second and the human aspect is first, he just wants your problem fixed and you satisfied.  It's strange, I hope to never need him again, but I can't wait to be able to utilize his expertise *if* another problem arises in the future.

The responding time is long. I booked 10am-11am, and then came 11am. It is kind of confusing when they are coming. But they done the job pretty fast and well by unclogging my shower drain.

These guys are outstanding.  They showed up when Richard said they would and fixed the leaky pipes under my kitchen sink very quickly.  He charged a very fair price.  I would not hesitate to use them for a bigger and more complicated job.  It is not often that you see a tradesman who consistently gets five stars from all the customers who post, but now I understand how Richard and his brother have managed it.

What a blessing to have found James to change my kitchen faucet and  sink drain pipe in a short notice.
Very pleasant and a great attitude and of course very professional. I had a water leak from the kitchen faucet on Friday before Christmas in a few hours later James was able to get everything back to normal. I totally recommend him for any plumbing work. I'm a happy customer

This was my first time using Flo-rite and will definitely be my go to for all plumbing issues. I had an ongoing leak for months now with no resolve. Matt, the owner responded to my inquiry right away and came out the next day to assess and provide a quote. He was able to diagnose the issue and completed the job in a timely manner (we needed multiple pipes to be replaced). Michelle kept me up to date regarding ETA via text message, which was great. I have had issues with other companies in the past who will schedule a time and then show up hours later. Flo-rite is professional, timely and organized. Highly recommended for all your plumbing needs.

I had an emergency last night wherein one of my main drains was clogged. CityWide had someone at my door within two hours of my calling. The young man was very respectful and worked very hard. The drain would not clear itself using a snake, etc. so he had to do a more extensive procedure, which did work.  The young man completely cleaned up the area. I also found their pricing to be very reasonable. Highly recommend them.

These guys are great! Even patient with me when I was late meeting them, and I know they were super busy. They were very responsive and made the repair within a day's time. I will definitely call them next time we need a plumber, happy to have a good contact in the neighborhood. Don't hesitate to give them a call.

I left a message after 9 pm and he got right back to me with an appointment the next morning. Kept us informed of his arrival time and did fixed our problem the same day.  Joe is professional and does a great job. Would not hesitate to recommend him.

My father's shower was in bad shape--no hot water, very low pressure water stream. I messaged In-Line via Yelp and Stan called within the hour to follow up. He was over at my dad's the next day to review the job, quoted us a fair price and fixed the shower that same day. My dad was very satisfied w the service; apparently involved removing a cartridge that was quite stuck and difficult to dislodge. These guys are friendly prompt professionals who know what they're doing and charges fair price; would highly recommend them.

Kellem was responsive, reliable, timely and did a great job. He sent me pictures very yep of the way since I was not in town. Would definitely use again and recommend!

I would highly recommend Johnny to anyone looking for a very honest and fair plumber.  He was thorough,  knowledgeable and very willing to offer tips to save money. He was responsive and came as scheduled. He successfully cleared my tub drain and also helped replace some old piping that had become paper thin due to age. In addition, he tightened up a bathroom faucet that was leaking. His price was extremely fair and he did not try to take advantage of the situation. It was very easy to trust him. Johnny is very easy going and friendly.  If you have any plumbing issues,  don't hesitate,  call him right away!

Lovely to work with. He returns calls within the day and gives his cell for emergencies. He clearly knows what he is doing and charges fairly. I have used him several times and had reason to regret it recently when I called another local company who did bad work for a ridiculous price.

Letter to Joseph Kennan( Bob's Lawyer)
In August I contacted Bob McManus, as he was an approved plumber on my cooperative's list. As soon as he answered the phone I greeted him, introduced myself and asked him if he works on cesspools in Breezy Pont. He said he did. I explained to him that I had a cesspool in the front of my house that was not able to handle all the plumbing that was going into it and I wanted my shower and sink water from my bathroom rerouted to a cesspool located in the rear of my house. I explain to him that it was full of sand for many years. I explained also that I had a laborer that would come and dig it out. He asked me if the laborer knew anything about cesspools and I told him no. He said just have him take out the sand that was inside the cesspool and do not have him dig out around the cesspool that he would take care of that part.  We discussed in detail what needed to be done as far as refurbishing (for lack of a better term) the cesspool.   He explained the outside of the entre cesspool would be dug out and lined with a material  that allows water to drain yet won't allow sand to penetrate through and also that gravel would be placed all around the outside.  I knew all about this and was happy to hear Bob was experienced and was able to assure me this would be done properly.  He also explained how everything would be sealed up nice and tight regarding the hole that was being made in my back wall in the basement.

On August 18 I had the laborer come and dig out the cesspool. Bob was actually in the area and came by and looked at the man that was digging out the cesspool while he was standing in the cesspool. He told him in front of me to take out about another foot or so which he did until he hit water. I texted Bob told him it was done and explained he hit water.

Bob's men were supposed to come here two days later on August 20 at 8 AM. At 8:24 AM I texted Bob because no one showed up. He said they were coming, which they did at about 9:15 that morning. They proceeded to do the plumbing work with rerouting the piping from my sink and shower to the back of my basement. They had to make a hole in the foundation wall to bring the pipe  through to the cesspool which they did.

I noticed at 1:45 that they never started digging around the cesspool and there was no delivery of gravel. When I asked the guys when they were going to start doing that, neither of them had any idea what I was talking about. I texted Bob immediately.  In the text I said to him, your men don't know anything about digging around the cesspool or the gravel and you said you were going to put around the cesspool.   His reply was, yes you're right we will need another day. Shortly after Bob came with a few bags of gravel about 5, 40 pound bags of gravel. One bag of gravel is about the size of a shoebox there would be much more gravel needed to surround the entire cesspool. He also was using the wrong gravel a very small pebble like gravel that is never used. He had his man dig a couple of holes in random spots and dump a bag in each hole. It does not make sense to dump gravel at the top area of a cesspool as you want it to drain starting from the bottom up. He insisted that it would be fine he followed that by saying let me know if it doesn't drain but you should be fine.

Bob also had told me the holes that the pipes were going through would be closed up and sealed properly. That was never done. I had to contact him again about sealing the holes. He had someone come back that following Monday to do that. He actually had to use spray foam that I had already in my house to seal it up temporarily until he brought the metal piece to put around the pipe against the wall.

Later on I found a huge hole in the block of the cesspool that my fist was able to fit through.(probably hole that was used for line years ago) That hole would allow sand to spill in and continually enter the cesspool. Once again he had to send one of his men back to place a piece of tin over that hole and bang it in so the sand would stop pouring into the cesspool. Later I wound up getting some bags of gravel to dump around that hole  because it wasn't covering the hole completely still allowing sand to seep in.

When we agreed that Bob would do this job he was going to do it exactly like he said and he only completed half of the work. I paid him $2000 to basically reroute my water and run a PVC pipe. His men worked from 9:30 to 3:00 with an hour lunch break  where I barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs for them.  

I actually had to pump a few days ago because the water was approaching the pipeline. If it did,  then I would have water backing up into my sink and shower. BOB owes me $1000. since he only did half the work.  Now he and his lawyer deny he was ever doing work to my cesspool.  OUTRIGHT LIE!

After a mis-communication by the office, a plumber came to replace my steam valve. He needed to remove the PTAC to do this, and got a colleague to come over. He also noticed (and the super told him) the steam trap needed to be replaced. Pleasant, efficient. All done in one day even though he had to go out to get a part.

Two things: the office should tell you they charge extra for credit card but no fee for debit. Other is they should ask customer to send a photo so they can see if they need another person before they come out.

This is the second time we have used Ryan Plumbing and they are batting 1.000 as far as we're concerned.

On the most recent call, the office told me someone would be here between 7:30-9:30am.  Rich arrived in front of our house at exactly 7:30.

He was cordial, very knowledgeable and shared his diagnosis without making the owner (me) feel like a dummy.

We would whole heartedly for any future issues and would recommend them without hesitation.

They are a bunch of crooks. Made a appointment to have my boiler serviced. Plumber came in flooded the boiler with water and then shut it down saying it was cracked and that I needed a new boiler which was quoted at 7000. Needless to say, I had sense enough to call for a second opinion.  Two parts were changed which cost me 1100.  They are a bunch if thieves, don't use them
